The U.S. Justice Department’s Cyber-Digital Task Force made public its first report on Thursday, covering the threat to elections, cybercrime schemes, and various other topics.
The role of the Cyber-Digital Task Force, announced in February by the Attorney General, is to help the Department of Justice find ways to combat cyber threats and become more efficient in this area.
The task force focuses on election interference, critical infrastructure disruptions, use of the Internet for spreading violent ideologies and recruiting followers, botnets, the use of technology designed to hide criminal activities, and the theft of sensitive data.
